Believe me. Coach Johnston took no joy in beating those boys like that. He did everything he could to keep the score down. I don't believe he threw a pass in the second half. The reserves have worked just as hard as the starters and you can't expect them to give less than their best. I hope the Cats can look back on this some day and say this is where the turnaround started. They have some talent. They just need to keep working hard and better days will be ahead. I wish them luck

I think Newton may have the best team it's ever had. Having said that I'm not taking anything for granted. Silsbee played a tough opponent and will improve a lot because of it. Plus they also have speed. I think my guys will win but I wouldn't be surprised if Silsbee showed a lot of improvement

I am a 53 year old gentleman who has been going to the PNG football games since I was 9 months old.  I have missed a total of 3 games since I was born.  Thus, I am png9mon.  Happy to clear that all up for you!!!

I honestly thought you were the mom of #9 at PNG 

Hate to see any kids go through what the Cats have had forced on them the last couple years.  Maybe this coach is in the right place at the right time to lead these guys to their full potential.  Looks like he also believes in Curtis Barbay's theory that you only get better playing better teams.  I hope they stay healthy and get this thing turned around.  I believe it's more fun for everyone when all Southeast Texas teams are playing well.  Go Eagles!

Would love to see Silberman undefeated when they come to Newton but the Reservation is one of the toughest venues in Southeast Texas for a visitor to win.  And RJ is pure stud.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give Todd this day his daily bread and forgive him his debts,as he forgives his debtors. Do not lead Todd into temptation,but  deliver Todd  from the evil  one.For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. AMEN !!! Lord Jesus, I pray this prayer since it is your words and your words will never return void. I continually pray for Favor and Healing for Todd. Lord, He is a good man and I thank you for the good things you are going to do for Todd in advance. Amen

Colton Beeson senior linebacker for Nederland committed to play for Texas Lutheran University early this morning.

My favorite was the UN guy that dropped a dumbbell on his throat the day before he was due to testify against Hillary.  At least they are getting creative now.  The suicides with 2 shots to the back of the head was getting played out.  

Thanks Tod, but that won't shut him up. His sick ego requires him to intrude where he knows he's not wanted so that he can meet his need for attention.  

CardinalBacker you are a real peace of work! The fact that this KID is a product of SETX and you are I am assuming an ADULT person who is old enough to have a career, maybe some college education, or a good job to support your family. Can sit behind a keyboard and say BOO in regards to a young man who has a COLLEGE DEGREE, was a member of 2 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS, and not too mention earned ALL AMERICAN  accolades on multiple occasions in his second sport of track and field all while being a student at a MAJOR University. Your opinion may not represent all but it does say alot about our communinty of SETX and how some treat our OWN. GOOD LUCK AT THE COMBINE TONY!! OZEN AND BEAUMONT ARE ROOTING FOR YA!!!

I wish this would go away.

It's hard to believe that two months ago, virtually everyone on the Forum was pulling for WOS & Newton to win State.  Now it's attack attack attack.  Primarily because of a couple of absurd post, or misinterpretation of other post.  No, no way, Newton beats Carthage last year.  That's a one sided victory.  No, no way, WOS is scared to play anyone (2014 3pt loss to 5A Foster 9-2, and KIPP the last two years, arguably one of the worst teams with the biggest cajones in the state).  Let's get over all this, and get ready to back both WOS & Newton in the coming season.  I just hope Evadale doesn't fill one of Newton's open dates  

I would bet that jwalker knows more about football than anyone who's not a coach on this site.  If it's September and he tells you it's Easter , you better go dye your eggs

In my humble opinion ( which doesn't mean squat )  I think Coach Johnston made a mistake by not playing WOS.  Coach Barbary played them many times knowing we were going to get 40 hung on us.  I have tremendous respect for Coach Hooks for giving us the opportunity to play them.  He had nothing to gain and a lot to lose by playing a smaller school.  Coach Thompson also has my respect and doesn't owe us a damn thing.  I don't blame him for taking the position he's taken however much I would like to see the game played for the fans.  I'd rather have a scheduling problem than be everybody's homecoming game like we were before Coach Lidney Thompson and Curtis Barbary got here.

Halfway through the 3rd quarter there were more people from Newton there.

I attended this game because I wanted to see this Newton team. Glad I did.
Starters for each team:
Woodville: #5 Martin, #12 C. Williams, #14 Brooks, #15 Beatty, #23 Adams
Newton: #5 Josh Foster, #10 Noah Williams, #20 Tamauzia Brown, #23 Corbin Foster, #24 J. Sylvester
 
Woodville came out shooting the three ball very well, led by their best player Christian Williams. He knocked down 3 early three's in first Q. Newton could not buy a three as Brown was 0-5 in first quarter and a half. Newton did get a lot of 2nd chance points from crashing the boards and just out hustling Woodville for loose balls. 2nd quarter Newton was able to get some turnovers and fast break points to get the halftime lead.
3rd quarter was the difference in the game. Newton extended their defense out to shut down the 3 point line and dominated the glass, not giving Woodville any chance of offensive rebounds. Brown finally hit a couple of three's which helped open the offense up. Newton's stellar defense also led to their transition offense, getting more fast break opportunities. The 4th Q was basically the same. Newton cruised to this solid district win.
Woodville's Christian Williams was the best pure basketball player on the floor and the best shooter as well. #5 Martin played well. He plays much bigger than his '5"10 body.
Newton's Josh Foster was their leader last night. He really played well and controlled things from his PG position. Brown definitely had an off night shooting, going just 2-10 from 3 land. Corbin Foster is another who plays much bigger than his size. He was surprisingly good offensively. Not what you might expect from an all state middle linebacker. The big man Sylvester is a game changer for Newton. He controlled the paint all night, getting 7 block shots with 13 rebounds. The sophomore's ability to defend the rim gives the rest of his teammates chances to be aggressive and gamble on defense and create turnovers. Newton's overall length caused havoc last night.
If the shooting improves for Newton, their length and overall athletic ability on defense will make them a very, very dangerous team in the playoffs. Also the combination of Head Coach Jeff Parks and Assistant Marcus Carver make this team so much better. They will be a tough out.
Newton will be shooting up my rankings.

Be cool if they did. Always said these 2 schools are by far the best programs in SETX.
